DoN CAMERON didn't attend the great CEN
tennial celebration. 1t was not DoNs fault
however, that he didn't get there. He was
in New York the night before the big show
was open. He packed his gripsack and went
down to the station to take Philadelphia
train. When he got there the depot was so
crowded that he couldn't work mis- way
through and he had to go back. Minnesota

Prof DAVIDSON finds it necessary to write a
second letter to exonerate himself from the
charge of being Mr.. DoNNELLY's champion.
He is convinced that SHAKESPEARE did not
write all the plays attributed to him, but is
not certain that BACON isentitled to any of
the honor. Il am disposed to believe" says
the professor, ''that they are the work of
several hands, one of which may have been
SHAKESPEARE" He concludes his letter with
the interesting statement that Mr.. DON
NELLYs cipher is not the only one about to
be given to the world, but gives no intima-
ton where the other one is coming from

Premier NoRQUAY's failure to float his Red
River railroad bonds is likely to be a source
of trouble to him when he gets back to Man.
itoba. There is already a suspicion among
the Manitobans that the premier's absence at
such critical time was for some other pur-

picion was intensified when he was notified
that the bonds could be disposed of at home
and he refused to come back, saying that he
was going TO get the money in New York.
1t would probably be unjust to accuse Mr..
NoRoUAY of any design to defeat the build
ing of the Red River road, but it is going to
take very large amount of explanation to
square himself with the Manitoba people.

The opposition charge everything up to the
administration nowadays. The Eastern Re-
publicans are blaming the CLEVELAND ad-
ministration for the stringency in the East
ern money market. In consideration of the
fact that the real cause of the tight times in
the East is the flow of money westward the
Western Republicans ought to stand up for
the administration. But they won't; they
will join in the cutlery against it on general
principles.
Mr.. CLEVELAND formally announces thathe
doesn't want any soldering or stopping over
business while he is ON his Western tour. He
wants to make a quiet trip and have a COM
Portable time. The presidents ideas accord
with those of the people of the Northwest in
this particular. He will not be worried with
impolite attentions while in this section.
The gates of the city will be thrown open to
him and cordial welcome extended. But
as long as he is st. Pauls guest he will be
permitted to enjoy himself in his own way.
That's St. Paul's style of hospitality. He can
choose his own enjoyments, and if he doesn't
see what he wants all he has to do is call
